Who's story is more reasonable? I had a chat with my close friend, who is older than me (I mean I live in Korea, one of the most Confucian countries,) yesterday. She and I had a car accident last summer in her car, so we got therapies each. While she recovered already, even she enjoyed the extreme sport in September, I still go clinic now. She looked like I was exaggerating my pain. I was a little bit upset but I couldn't proactively defend, partly because I must show respect to her under Korean hierarchical social relationship culture. I don't think I get malingering. Maybe I am more sensitive than her, but the strong backing is that I was in poor condition at that time. From that, I've got more injuries despite a similar impact.
